Love can be simply scary

Morning: Psalms 87, 90; Ezekiel 3:4-17; Hebrews 5:7-14
Jesus prepares the disciples for his being betrayed. “Let these words sink into your ears”, he says. But they do not understand.  Sometimes Jesus’s words are so straightforward and simple, but we complicate them or miss what he is saying.  Maybe that’s because the raw simplicity of learning Love – learning to Love one another – is actually very demanding and scary to us?  I don’t suppose the next thing Jesus says is any easier either: “Whoever welcomes this child in my name welcomes me ... for the least among you is the greatest.”  Let these words sink in too.
